When You're Back Abbi Glines 9781471122361 Books

After growing up with a cruel mother and abusive stepfather, the future is bright for Reese Ellis who just moved to Dallas in order to live Mase Colt Manning, who managed to piece her back together and give her back her confidence.

Now she needs to move on and think about the future, despite the annoying presence of Mase's cousin Aida, and the dark and disturbing River Kipling, who imposes on her time on a daily basis.
What I loved about this book:

The hint of suspense

What I felt needed improvement:

The ever-repeating storyline and age-old intrigues
The fact that all intrigues are rushed through
The annoyingly naive and tartly female main character

I am an unconditional pre-order auto-buy fan when it comes to Abbi Glines. She just knows how to write those lighthearted summery romance-is-bliss novels that take place in the south and either involve rock stars or cowboys.

Unfortunately, I was disappointed by When You're Back , which is the conclusion to Mase and Reese's story. When I finished the book - which was way too short - I just kept thinking That's it? Really? - because honestly I'm not quite sure where this book added value to the couple or the Rosemary Beach Series, apart from giving us a totally predictable Abbi Glines ending a la pregnancy and marriage proposal. Sorry for the spoiler, but it's Book #12 in the series, and so far each book had exactly this MO and ending, so you will have probably expected it. Just like Reese expects a proposal from Mase after just a couple of months of dating. Right.

I did like the other books in the series, though, and this despite of the ever-repeating storyline, because the characters and the circumstances were always different and more intriguing. But When You're Back feels like a medley from the previous books in the series, only with different names. Plot wise, cowboy-guy falls for sweet, innocent and helpless girl with trust issues and protects her and. Nothing new here.

I liked the fact that Abbi Glines tried to make this book more suspenseful by adding throwing yet another character in to the mix (Captain, Blaire's brother who we never heard about before - strange, eh?) and by connecting the story to a crime. Yet, most of the intrigues in the book were short-lived, or just plain boring because we've been there and done that in the previous books (like the girl who has a crush on Mase and wants to break the couple - didn't that happen in Part 1 of Mase and Reese's story but with a different girl?). Also, the ending was way too rushed and the epilogue wasn't exactly satisfying.

As an Abbi Glines fan, I am not giving up on next releases and really hope the next book in the series (or the new series due to be released in September) will be more innovative and intriguing. Last but not least, I hope the female main characters will be less naive than Reese, who really frustrated me in When You're Back .

First off it seems that I have skipped one book as #10 is the beginning of this love story between Mase and Reese , but that is alright as you don't need to read Book #10 to understand the story. At the beginning of this novel , Reese has been spending some time with her newfound family due to the discovery of her birth father and getting to know her family and relatives and has decided to come home a little early to surprise her boyfriend Mase Colt-Manning who despite growing up on the ranch, he too has discovered that he has a different family also as his biological father is Kiro Manning from the band that Dean Finlay who is Rush's dad also is in. Confused yet ? Reese arrives home to learn that there is a new girl hanging around her boyfriend and she doesn't look happy to see her , in fact she is being treated like she is an interruption. The new girl turns out to be Aida - who is Mase's cousin - not by blood though and she has the hots for Mase and now that they are both old enough she is not going to let go of Mase quietly, as he should be hers. She has waited all these years and not going to let Reese swoop in and steal her Prince Charming. The thing is though that Mase sees Aida just as her cousin , the one he cares about. Will Mase's caring for Aida form a rift between him and Reese and willl Reese turn to newcomer Captain aka River Kipling - he is Blaire Finlay's brother as he seems to be hanging around Reese alot and acting flirtatious. As the book goes along, we learn more about Reese's background and her love for Mase but what happens when doubts start to form ? Will this be the point to push Reese over the edge and lose Mase for good or will the pair discover when left with the idea that they might lose one another - that they in fact can't live without each other ? I really enjoyed reading this book but I did hope with the ending that revealed her father and his intentions as it felt that the epilogue finished quite abruptly for my liking. Overall , however it was great to be reunited with the cast of the Rosemary Beach series as had been a while since I had read an Abbi Glines's novel.
I am now looking forward to going back and catching up on the ones I have missed in the later part of the series.
This was a good closing to Mase & Reese's story. It was full of secrets, frustration & sweet romance. I liked how it was sexier & angstier than the first book! (BONUS We got to spend time with our favorite characters in Rosemary Beach too.)

I was worried at first with how things started for Mase & Reese in the beginning but relished the relief when Reese returned to Texas. I was happy that she got the chance to meet the other side of her family & was overjoyed with what her father did for her. It was interesting to see how Mase dealt with the Kiro situation but I'm still a bit irked with Kiro's lack of relationship with Mase.

There were times when I wish both Mase & Reese would've spilled the beans on certain things, like Aida (Mase to Reese) & Aida/the "surprise" (Reese to Mase), but I can see why it was difficult for them to do so. They both were protecting the other after all. Still, I can't believe how clueless Mase was when it came to Aida! GAH!!

LOVED Captain aka River Kipling in this book! I didn't realize he had business in Texas but I am incredibly happy that he did. The secrets we learned about him... Totally SURPRISING & I loved it! They've provided a great launchpad for his book!!

Lucky us readers... we got us a mini-Nan in Texas. She goes by the name of Aida (Mase's cousin) & she was a manipulative, fake & jealous witch. I wasn't impressed with how she was dealt with because it felt somewhat incomplete (especially after her speech to Reese in her office) but I guess I can take solace in the fact that she HAD to have heard the good news Mase & Reese announced at the very end. Take that you green-eyed monster!

On to the next book in this series, The Last Goodbye. Time to put together the rest of the pieces to the puzzle that is Captain!
